We have tried for a few years to think of the right way to approach Discworld and just at the right time Chris Birch approached the Terry Pratchett estate about working together. It was our lucky day because not only did they want to work with us, but they already knew of our reputation for faithful tabletop adaptations.<\/p>\n<p>To be able to bring something with such an emotional connection to so many at Modiphius was incredibly exciting, and set a lot of our creative staff down some incredible paths and we are so so excited for you all to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Modiphius has a reputation for creating authentic and immersive licensed tabletop games around global IPs, having produced award-winning games for <em>Conan\u2122, Star Trek\u2122, John Carter of Mars\u2122, Fallout\u2122, <\/em>and<em> The Elder Scrolls\u2122.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>*Modiphius\u2019s management tried to come up with a clever-sounding name for the Collector&#8217;s Edition that explained all of its incredible features: an new, original cover by Paul Kidby, gilded edges, spot UV varnish, and two reading ribbons; but after several days of struggle and the heroic sacrifice of two whiteboards (and one junior developer), were convinced that &#8216;Collector&#8217;s Edition&#8217; is the most readily understood title.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mceButtonLink\" href=\"https:\/\/modiphius.us9.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=3a03f2f0abc7da8e538e00cb4&amp;id=f7b279894d&amp;e=e96df5c8fe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BACK NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">About Modiphius Entertainment<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Modiphius Entertainment <\/strong>is a London, England-based entertainment publisher of tabletop games and related hobby merchandise.
